Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F review – fish-out-of-water Eddie Murphy chases past glories

-
Murphy’s maverick cop – and his theme music – are back to fight corruption, but four decades on there’s little energy to enliven their formulaic reunion Eddie Murphy isn’t finished yet – as he proved with his barnstormer of a performance as Blaxploitation pioneer Rudy Ray Moore in Dolemite Is My Name . But there’s something a bit tired and formulaic about this further go-around for his iconic Detroit cop Axel Foley from the Beverly Hills Cop action-comedy franchise which 40 years ago made Murphy an explosive Hollywood star – and whose catchy Axel F theme became an 80s anthem, duly revived here. He’s back for the fourth film, yet again leaving his Detroit turf to be a scruffy fish-out-of-water in the hilariously chi-chi world of Beverly Hills, yet again wryly noticing from the wheel of his car, on the way in, a montage of all the crazy California stuff, including a car registration plate reading: PRE-NUP. Axel’s grownup lawyer daughter Jane (Taylour Paige) is in Beverly Hills, menace

Armie Hammer’s Ex-wife, Elizabeth Chambers, Seems To Have Sought To Collaborate With House Of Effie In Order To Harm Him

-
It appears that Elizabeth Chambers attempted to collude with House of Effie to take down her estranged husband, Armie Hammer, in a twist that could have been lifted straight from the pages of a suspense book. Effie is a pseudonym used by the woman who created the now-famous Instagram account that was the first to level allegations of sexual misconduct against Hammer. Effie has shared text messages that are said to have been sent by Chambers, which show the founder of Bird Bakery pressuring Chambers to press charges against Hammer so that she can get full custody of their two children, Harper and Ford. Effie, who later accused Hammer of raping her, allegedly told Chambers that she was "feeling a little bit suicidal" and that she didn't have time to talk to Chambers in one of the texts that were shared on her Instagram account. Effie also claimed that she didn't have the opportunity to speak with Chambers. At one time, Chambers allegedly stated, "I truly need custody of my lovely children." Chambers has two children. Do you believe that you will be able to make a statement this week? Of course, everything is going to be kept confidential... She allegedly said, "I don't want to pressure you, but your understanding is far more in-depth than the others we have." Chambers, who is now 40 years old, is said to have communicated with Effie, who is 36 years old, via different texts that she required Hammer, who was holed up in the Cayman Islands during the controversy, to leave the islands because he posed a threat to their children. She is reported to have written that he hasn't even seen the children, that he f*cks anybody who walks by, and that he is taking a new blonde out on his father's big yacht. Because of the court order that I used to force him to come here and try to be a parent, he is now a threat to the children. He must leave. In addition to this, the actress from "Game Plan" asserted that the star of "The Social Network" should be imprisoned since he harms other individuals.

Gasoline Rainbow review – a free-ranging coming-of-age ode to the curiosity of youth

-
Billed as a gen Z road trip film, the Ross brothers’ first fiction feature offers more than you’d expect from the genre, with a focus on human interaction over plot In the opening seconds of the Ross brothers’ new film, a teenager professes his hope to discover a place “weirdos” like him can call home. The opening raises doubts about the novelty of what might follow: the trope of the high school outsider has been endlessly revisited. Gasoline Rainbow – billed as a gen Z road trip movie – starts off by replaying familiar images. As new high school graduates Makai, Micah, Nathaly, Nichole and Tony hit the road across Oregon for one final adventure together, we see the usual trappings of the genre: sing-alongs, parties by the campfire, and leaning out of car windows to enjoy the breeze and sweet call of freedom. We move into welcome new territory when a mishap leaves their van out of action, and the group are left in the hot desert trying to scrounge a path forward, meeting strangers al

Elaha review – sex, patriarchy and second-generation identity

-
A sexually candid, seriously intentioned drama about a young Kurdish woman who feels she has to surgically ‘restore’ her virginity before her wedding There is a heartfelt and courageous performance from 28-year-old Syrian-born, German-based actor Bayan Layla in this drama about sex, patriarchy and second-generation immigrant identity. It is a drama which hits the buttons squarely and efficiently, but might perhaps have played better as a three-part TV drama. Layla plays Elaha, a young woman of Kurdish family background in a German town (director Milena Aboyan is herself German-based and Armenian-Kurdish). She has finished high school and is now attending classes on how to apply for jobs, picking up skills she uses mainly to help her dad find employment. There seems to be no discussion about university, despite her obvious intelligence. Her mum works hard minding Elaha’s younger sister and disabled kid brother, and Elaha has part-time work at a dry-cleaners; she is saving for her wedd
